Outdoor Entertaining Inspiration: Madhouse by Michael Aram

I first learned about Michael Aram's nature-inspired serving and dinnerware while registering for my wedding and concurrently learning a little something unexpected about my fiance: apparently Kendrick has a real thing for cutlery shaped like branches. I didn't think he had any particular thing for cutlery of any kind, period, but no: he really likes Michael Aram pieces.

If you like it as well, you'll also like this news: the designer recently created Madhouse, a collection of paper and melamine tableware and accessories specifically geared at casual outdoor use - excellent for bridal showers, BBQs, and picnics that you'd like to make a little extra-special.

Below, some of my favorite pieces from the line (set out for last weekend's backyard BBQ).

Must-Own: OtterBox For iPhone

OK, so you know how the East Coast has suddenly turned into a tropical island, what with the daily monsoons and such? (Seriously, it's so weird, and has simultaneously made the summer feel like it hasn't even begun yet and created a terrible, horrible situation with my bangs.)

Anyway, Tuesday afternoon was lovely and sunny and Francesca was over, so we decided to fill up the wading pool so Indy could splash around a little.

Five minutes later there was a huge thunderclap, and we had to run inside to escape the downpour.

After about half an hour the rain stopped and we wandered back out into the yard...only to discover that I had left my iPhone sitting right there on the outdoors table.
